I started Andreas Moritzkidney cleanse 2 days ago after 3 liver flushes and colonics. But I am suffering terribly with sleep problems. I suddenly awaken , feel very hot ans sweaty and cannot get back to sleep. I toss and turn and when I do get to sleep it is very light and not refreshing. This has only happened since I started the KC. What could be causing this? Will I need to suffer with very little sleep for 20 days?
Also since my last LF my BM's are rather orange in colour!
A variety of different herbs are in the cleanse. You make it into a tea and sip it throughout the day for 20 days. It is supposed to breakdown any kidney stones you might have and basically detox the kidneys. Andreas Moritz recommends this. The herbs are:
marjoram
comfrey root
chicory herb
hydrangea root
marshmallow root
cat's claw
fennel seed
uva ursi
gravel root
golden rod herb.
That's a heck of a lot of intervention. Are you sure you need it? You haven't posted your symptoms or Dosha here that I can see - did you send that info to me in e-mail?
That kind of potion I would only recommned to someone with foamy and/or bloody urine, frequent urination and tons of back pain. I would not recommend it to just anyone. For most people, diet management, parsley, cranberry and alkaline juices/diet is all they need.
It doesn't pay to mess with the kidneys, they cannot regenerate like the liver can. AT the very least you should lower the dosage until you're no longer as symptomatic. The diuretics in the potion are stripping you over water, salts etc. Insomnia, if not liver/detox related, is due to dehydration, not enough electrolytes and B vits. CalMagFizz, cleansing drink, and a good b vit complex should help.
If it's liver/lymph, then some liver management and detox baths are in order.
It could also be because this mixture is too Vata or Pitta for your Dosha.
Have you emailed Andreas with your question? I did his kidney flush and noticed some sleep disturbance. Overall I considered it to be a very effective cleanse though. I know Andreas recommends this for all doing liver flushes, for good reason. I searched high and low on the net for good advice, and didn't find any better than what Andreas provides. I look forward to reading his response to your question if you post it there.
